Tiny houses coming to Pennsylvania campground

The tiny house movement is coming to a Pennsylvania campground in late June through July. It will add yet another camping option to an array of cottages, cabins and lodges that have made up the most recent trend in campground developments.

Three models of tiny house RVs will be available will be available for rent at Jellystone Park Camp and Resort at Quarryville, Lancaster County.

A trio of tiny house RVs will visit the Quarryville campground from June 29-July 26. They are available for rent throughout that period.

The campground also will hold an open house from 4-7 p.m. on Thursday, June 29.

East Coast tour

The Pennsylvania visit is part of a tour of Jellystone parks in the eastern U.S. owned by Northgate Resorts, a Michigan-based company with eight parks.

The tiny house RVs will be at Jellystone Park in Gardiner, New York, through June 28. After their Pennsylvania stop, they will move to Jellystone Park in Hagerstown, Maryland, for a July 27-Sept. 6 visit and then onto Jellystone Park in Luray, Virginia, to end the season Sept. 7-Nov. 1.

Plenty packed into a tiny house

Each tiny house RV includes loft space, two queen-sized and one twin-sized beds, a kitchen, a full bathroom, air conditioning, heat and more.

Maximum occupancy is 4-5 people, and rental will be $319-369 per night

Almost unbearably cute touches

Kansas City designer Kristen Rieke styled each of the tiny house RVs with a nod to the Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters that are the logo characters for the Jellystone Parks line – Yogi Bear, Cindy Bear and Boo Boo Bear.

Hanna-Barbera debuted Yogi Bear in 1958, as a supporting character in The Huckleberry Hound Show. He was given his own show, The Yogi Bear Show, in 1961.

Cindy Bear and Boo Boo Bear joined Yogi in his new show, along with the long-suffering Ranger Smith.

Three different models

The Yogi and Cindy suites are the same models with different colors, patterns and touches, while the Boo Boo is a smaller version.

Jellystone Park campgrounds are home to Yogi, Boo Boo and Cindy, who make appearances to greet guests and take part in activities. In addition, each location is themed with elements from the famous Hanna-Barbera characters.

From the industry leader

The tiny house RVs were built this spring by Colorado-based Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, the nation’s largest tiny house builder.

Founded in 1999, Tumbleweed is at the forefront of the tiny house movement. Tumbleweed provides a full range of products including fully built tiny house RVs, tiny house shells, which are partially built RVs, trailers, building plans, workshops, how-to videos and more.

Tumbleweed was founded by tiny-house pioneer Jay Shafer, who developed some of the first plans for tiny houses on wheels.

Two stories

The tiny house RVs may be small, but they feature two levels – a main floor and a sleeping loft – along with a connecting stairs.

Tiny House Nation

The tiny house movement, which has come fully into the public conscience through recent media coverage and television series like Tiny House Nation and Tiny House Hunter, originated in the 1970s. The more recent innovation of putting tiny houses on wheels has increased their popularity.

While the average size of a new single family home in the U.S. is now more than 2,600 square feet, tiny homes are generally less than 500 square feet.

Typical price of a tiny house is less than $50,000.

Jellystone Park system

Launched in 1969, the Jellystone Park system is the second largest chain of campgrounds in the U.S., with more than 80 campgrounds offering more than 17,000 campsites and vacation rentals in 31 states and four Canadian provinces.

In Quarryville

Jellystone Park at Quarryville is set on 63 wooded acres adjoining a 100-acre county park. It has 200 campsites and 86 cabins. Stewart’s Run Creek runs along the resort’s edge.
